Overview

This block is a 150mA, synchronous step-down integrated buck DC-DC converter IP core designed for SilTerra D18V (0.18μm BCD).

The converter compensation and rectifier switches are integrated. It operates in PWM (current control mode) for heavy loads and has a PFM mode for light loads, improving its efficiency.

It also features power good indicator, over-current protection (at start-up and cycle-by-cycle), and the option to have an external reference.

Key features

  • PWM, PFM and forced PWM modes
  • Excellent line transient response
  • High Efficiency (around 90%)
  • Output load up to 150mA
  • Input voltage: 2.5– 5.5V
  • Adjustable output voltage (1.3– 3.3V)
  • Output voltage accuracy: ±5%
  • 3MHz switching frequency
  • Core area: 760µm ×845µm (0.47mm2)

Guide to Choosing the Best DCDC Converter for Your Application

This white paper introduces a procedure for choosing the proper DCDC switching converter for a given application. It explains basic, performance, and optional metrics in detail. It also demonstrates other practical aspects that are sometimes overlooked by system designers. Multiple application examples are provided.

How to simplify switch-mode DC-DC converter design

This article focuses on the design issues that are simplified by including an integrated inductor optimized for a range of electrical and layout applications as part of the power management solution

Breaking new energy efficiency records with advanced power management platform

The free lunch offered for decades by Moore’s law is now over and scaling down to the next technology node no longer offers the required energy efficiency gains. Design teams must now pursue their gains by deploying increasingly complex power management techniques to meet the demands of the new IoT markets.

Guide to Choosing the Best LDO for Your Application

To know which LDO you need, you must first define the application of your LDO and then examine which parameters are most important when dealing with that application. With the multiple parameters that characterize a particular LDO, it is not easy to determine which LDO is best suited. To help you figure this out, we have put together this reference. This guide presents a list of all the key LDO parameters along with their definitions, the most common applications of LDOs, and which parameters are critical for each.
